Top 10 Brits Who Are Banned from America

[@JustMe-ks8qc]

I remember being very annoyed that Nigella Lawson was banned from the US after she talked about trying drugs with her dying husband some years before, while addict Russel Brand had free entry to work and promote his stuff there despite frequently referring to his drug using past.

[@TheOneManWhoBeatYou]

Yeah, that's what she talked about, every inmate in a prison is innocent according to themselves too...

[@ddjr6673]

@@TheOneManWhoBeatYouwhat a weird comment - Nigella hadn’t been arrested charged let alone convicted of anything! Clearly a prisoner has… that’s clearly the HUGE difference - NO criminal record! Duh!

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

If you have enough money or power behind you, your indiscretions can be overlooked. Just look at Prince Harry. That twat has admitted to drug past and ongoing drug use but we're still stuck with him. Fingers crossed, he can still be banned in time.

[@StrangerInAustralia]

"Today we're counting down our picks for the UK and Irish celebs who are currently unable to enter the USA. Number one: Any Winehouse." Top work.

[@franklingoodwin]

Really? They did THAT? 🤦

[@laurabeane8862]

Yea, and that Oscar Wilde fella looks kind of sketchy, too

[@rbarnett3200]

I doubt Amy will be travelling to US or indeed anywhere else anytime soon

[@Brown87]

In fairness, she is unable 🤭

[@DOB1901]

As an American, I don't really get why anyone would want to come here except to do extremely well paying gigs.

[@applecidervinegar1650]

Because America has a broad range of sites to see.

[@KealohaHarrison]

I’m surprised that Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones wasn’t mentioned here. He was denied a visa because of his drug arrest and trial and that’s one of the main reasons why he left/was fired from the band right before their 1969 tour just barely a month before he died at 27. Also weird how Mick and Keef were fine to enter the US despite both of them also having very heavily publicized drug arrests and trials.

[@l.salisbury1253]

In late '77 the Sex Pistols were initially banned from US entry- not so much as a band but each individual member was denied a visa!

[@lisafields3403]

Boy George did a tour with Culture Club in the U.S last year

[@OLDS98]

You are correct. He is doing on in 2024 as well.

[@lisafields3403]

@OLDS98 cool O I have to check that out thanks

[@salfoster6501]

Boy grorge section is incorrect as he lived with his manager PK and his wife Dorite in bevely hills in 2013 onwards as he appeared in the real housewives of BH . So could have been earlier than 2013 but he lives with his manager and family there

[@OLDS98]

This is correct.

[@sssaaraa]

I was about to write the same thing!

[@ks198]

Lily Allen lives in Brooklyn now

[@theimmortalzombie1150]

The celebrity that shocked me the most was nigella, as i didn't expect her on here

[@KierstenBrown-jn2pj]

Boy George is currently performing on Broadway, so he’s in the US. :)

[@quaxo1]

Not anymore. Boy George played Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge up until May 12, 2024. That role is now played by Austin Durant.

[@OLDS98]

You are correct and this is true. He will be touring the United States this years in 2024 with Culture Club.

[@Rkenton48]

So Ms. Winehouse decided against rehab, made a hit song about it, and killed herself with an OD. You sure showed them, Amy!

[@HouseMartin]

"Are Banned"? At least half of these people have subsequently been allowed into USA. What a complete waste of time.

[@franklingoodwin]

@CaptainBollocks.... Still defending them lol

[@HouseMartin]

@CaptainBollocks.... Yes, you are quite correct. The intro 100% contradicts the title of the video as it isn't about people who "are banned".

[@spotcatsteve3752]

I won't miss Lillie Allen 😂

[@JayYoung-ro3vu]

Now, we yanks have a presidential candidate who is a convicted felon. How is that going to work?

[@l.salisbury1253]

Remember the infamous National Front rock musician Ian Stuart? He too was denied entry to the US. (Huh. Wonder why...?)

[@andrewcockrell6116]

Boy George has been appearing in the Broadway version of Moulin Rouge, so presumably his ban no longer is in effect.

[@kenpachizaraki3961]

Amy Winehouse no.1?! You kidding me watchmojo, it's not like she can pop on a plane now can she?. How low can watchmojo go?

[@pagmatic]

"top ten letters of the alphabet" should be interesting.

[@kenpachizaraki3961]

Or top ten best eastenders characters, spoilers; no.1 Is pingu

[@MiladyMacabre]

Boy George performed on Broadway in Moulin Rouge this spring, so I think it's safe to say the ban was lifted.

[@rrubio6660]

Boy George has a show on Broadway right now. So, your list doesn't make sense. LOL!

[@assundamcdonagh9477]

So according to the Department Of Homeland Security, non citizens can be banned from entering the USA if they admit to taking illegal drugs. So my question is what about Prince Harry who has admitted in his Auto Biography (Spare), that he has taken illegal drugs. One rule for us (hard working people) + another rule for celebrities who've taken drugs and what not.

[@adamhitchcock3723]

I believe he is under investigation for that. I think I read his lawyers were making a convoluted claim that his admission in his autobiography to taking drugs did not actually amount to proof that he had, which is stupid.

[@outdoorsy01]

Your question? Because no one has been asking that question have they 😂 try watching Piers Morgan on the subject, and many, many others.

[@assundamcdonagh9477]

@outdoorsy01 What I'm saying is there's one rule for a celebrity (eg, Prince Harry), and there's one rule for the likes of the working class (us).

[@ladyjustice1474]

Harry is part of the royal family by definition he diplomatic immunity. Also, his daughter is a US citizen. Like it or this a political matter.

[@assundamcdonagh9477]

@ladyjustice1474 it doesn't matter whether if he's comes from royalty or not, but he shouldn't have lied on a document allowing him to stay with his family in America. Prince Harry stepped away from the royal family

[@applecidervinegar1650]

6:14 He has appeared on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills many times as he lived with one of the cast. So he indeed has revisited the US again.

[@Emjolein]

Why would you want to go to the USA anyway??

[@MrSupercar55]

Because their healthcare system isn’t overburdened, unlike the British NHS, the latter being most notably free at the point of delivery. Sure, you gotta pay for it, but that instils discipline. It encourages you to take a step back and think to yourself “do I really need to see a doctor about this cough or shall I give it a couple of weeks like I’m supposed to?” You’re also better able to defend yourself in America. Sure, they’ve got guns, but those guns are better than our chavvy knives. The knives our chavs have are only really good in close combat as melee weapons, whereas guns are good in situations where you can put some distance between yourself and your opponent. Lastly, fuel is cheaper in the US because the economy in some states, like California and Alaska, revolves around oil rigging. It’s expensive to ship that oil from the states to Britain, but we don’t want to be buying oil from Russia. Sure, we’ve got the North Sea, but who knows how long that’ll provide us with oil?

[@klydejohnson7520]

Freedom of speech wen the wack queen died nun of us got arrested for saying that’s not my king😂

[@juliah33]

As an American I second this statement

[@NITE_SHIFTING]

EXACTLY! For a country that refers to itself as the greatest country on earth (cringe) we do some real "third world" country things. Like some of the population is actually ok with the prospect of having a convicted felon as President. That should give anyone pause.

[@Flutterbi]

@@MrSupercar55 sorry disagree, I have two friends in two different states in the US and they struggle financially because of ongoing medical conditions. I would sooner be here than overpay and go bankrupt over there. The US only caters for the rich, the poor be damned.

[@rolybellamy956]

ozzy osbourne was banned for years for taking a piss on the alamo site , he thought it was just an old wall !

[@quaxo1]

He wasn't banned from the US. He was only banned from performing in San Antonio for 10 years.

[@8rickey]

Boy George was just on Broadway in Moulin Rouge.

[@maxben565]

Guess you missed Culture Club US tour recently or Boy George performance in Moulin Rouge on Broadway. 👎

[@OLDS98]

This is correct and thank you. They will be on tour in the United States in 2024.

[@OLDS98]

Boy George is not banned. This information is incorrect. He has been in the United States several times since the ban years ago.. He just completed a stint on Broadway in New York. He is about to go on tour this fall with Culture Club. I saw him a year ago on tour here in the United States. He was on several shows as well.

[@BallymurphyBabe]

I was only familiar with Boy George.

[@tamra9396]

Me too and I don't remember him looking like he did in that clip.

[@howardchu6302]

Weird...my husband and I saw Boy George perform in Moulin Rouge on Broadway in New York March 2024...

[@neilburns8869]

The US authorities at Homeland Security have to make decisions based on the facts they have at hand on each individual who applies for a Visa. If for some reason a person has been charged with an offence or crime in the UK then it's understandable that they aren't really going to want that person entering the United States.

[@Sodor18]

I think featuring that blackface jury scene was a bad idea.

[@joshuagamboaii741]

I didn't know that Amy Winehouse got banned from the United States before she died.

[@neilburns8869]

Lily Allen, not only lives in the United States now but is married to well known actor David Harbour. Not really sure if she's seeking US citizenship or not.

[@CamCam-mq6ji]

MIA was stripped of her son - also, her babyfathers family are VERY influential. She lost her record deal.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

Looking down the comments list, I see some people missed the part at the beginning where she said the list includes people who "have been banned", as in it no longer applies, which is why it's stretched to include Amy Winehouse.

[@franklingoodwin]

The title LITERALLY says "Are Banned" though

[@franklingoodwin]

@CaptainBollocks.... I listened to the video. That's why I know there's a discrepancy between the title of the video and the content. If it says "are" that means presently. If you know how tenses work why are you defending it? "Titles are often misleading". Yes, that's why I'm commenting, they shouldn't be. It's not hard to have the title to use "Brits who have been banned from America" It's literally one more word. I probably would've let it go had one of those people still had been alive.

[@lizzybethnj617]

Boy George and The Culture Club performed two concerts in New Jersey and that was last year. Im confused

[@makaio9578]

James Cordon isn’t legally banned. But it’s best he doesn’t

[@kieronparr3403]

Better him in the US than the UK

[@PhilT81]

This makes it sound like Boris and Carrie are separated. They’re not. They only recently had their third child. Of course, the video could just be assuming it’s only a matter of time… when you marry your mistress you’re just creating a vacancy.
